One fine day The chaos subsidesBleeds into awarenessAnd a lifetime of surprise

The beauty of your mother's eyesThe pain when you fall You drink it in and marvel at it all But you never really figure it out

You get used to it

The babble of the family And the dumb TV Roar of the traffic and the thunder of jets

Chemicals in the waterDrugs in the food The heat of the kitchen and the beat of the system

The attitude of authority The laws and the rules Hit me square in the face, first morning at school

The heroes and the zeroes The first love of my life When to kiss and to kick and to keep your head down when they're choosing the sidesI was never any good at it I was terrified most of the timeI never got over it I got used to it

Alone in the city at seventeen With the hollow, the lonely The drowning and the drowned I was made to feel worthless The wretched and the mean Beat me up like a weapon I can't run away from or find a way round Holdin' on, holdin' on

The greed and the missilesExploding somewhere every day Hideous dark secrets under the sea and in holes in the ground

The cold war's gone Those bastards'll find us another oneThey're here to protect you, don't you know? So get used to it Get used to it!

The clash of religions The loaded prayers Information The face of starvation and the state of the nation

The sense that it's useless And the fear to try Not believing the leaders, the media that feeds us Living with the big lieTomado de AlbumCancionYLetra.comYou get used to it
